1. Tom Simpson?
2. Roche?
Both I’m not sure they have won the Tour… But as long as Vlaanderen and Grsdylu haven’t shwo up I have a chance
Don't need to have won the Tour, just worn the yellow jersey at some stage
Tom Simpson is incorrect, plenty of British riders over the years have worn it, Boardman, Millar, Yates
And Roche is also incorrect I’m afraid, Seán Kelly and Shay Elliott have also worn the yellow jersey.
Keep the guesses coming.

Never wore yellow I'm afraid!
No Kazakh ever has.

Not Cancellara
Switzerland has two winners of the Tour! Ferdi Kubler and Hugo Koblet.

Sven-Åke Nilsson from Malmö
is the only swede to wear a jersey in the Tour I believe. He had one day in the polkadots. More impressive is his string of Tour results, 11:th, 12:th 7:th, 8:th, 14:th. Most of those riding in support of Zoetemelk I think.
No other south Americans?

Rock hard Mexican hero

Guilty as charged
It’s like doping you know. All the others do it so you succumb to it sooner or later.
But I did it only once…

But if everyone does it
It’ll level out the playing field ;)

And I knew his name
He rode for Dutch team. Only one to survive the tainted food supplement Tour. At least, only one willing to get on his bike the next day.

At least I learned some new stuff today.
Have to go now so #8 is still up for grabs.
